I'm not a FIRM believer in the power of 'psychic', but sometimes i'm proven wrong through my own 'abilities'.
That said, I would think that perhaps it's because you out 'power' her,
meaning you would be able to 'read' her but not the other way around due to your 'power' being overbearing.
If anything.

I think that they should ask the readee (psychic or not) what they think it means, rather than tell the readee what they think it means.

Yes. Many (probably most) sensitives/empaths ability is limited to one specific talent (Claircognizant, Emotionally Receptive, Physically Receptive, etc.)
TV shows like Medium are fun, but unrealistic.
It's not like watching a movie. You sense, you get symbols, etc - - - and then you have to interpret from those.
A true sensitive asks questions for clarity of what they sense (its not prompting).

Most people just assume a psychic knows what they are seeing.
It can get really confusing if you try to figure out the meaning yourself sometimes.
It is always best to tell what you see and feel without trying to make sense out if it.
That is up to the client to help find the meaning.
I remember one of my bosses asking me if I saw anything once, and I saw this old man's head floating in the air just kind of hovering there, so I described him to her and it turns out t was her dad. I had no idea about why he would just be a floating smiling head...until she told me he died of diabetes. Lost his toe, then foot, then leg....etc.
He used to joke about soon being just a head.
It all made sense after she explained, but I would of never of understood that.

Do psychics and fortune tellers have a hard time doing readings for others with similar talents?
I just came back from a psychic reading- one of my friends had a psychic over to her house for a day of readings. Everyone else had a real spine-tingling spooky "how did she know that?" experience. But for me, it was a let down. She didn't pick up on anything very profound, and certainly nothing she couldn't have deduced in very ordinary ways.
I've read tarot for many years, and while I do not do it professionally, I have been told by many, many people over the years that I have the "gift."
Of course, it's hard to do any readings for yourself.
Over the years, from time to time I've paid the fee for a psychic reading. Only once has the result been impressive- and that time was stunningly accurate ! For years now I've been trying to find someone who could read like that woman did. But it just never happens.
I don't go into these sessions with a critical attitude, and I'm certainly not a non-believer. Everyone has their own method for reading cards or channelling messages, and I'm in no way snobbish as far as believing my method is better than someone else's. The one psychic who did read me well had a system that was nothing at all like mine. I go into sessions with a good attitude and open mind and spirit.
No psychic I've ever been to had any idea that I do tarot readings myself.
I've never actually done a reading for anyone who is a reader themselves. Is there some reason that psychics have trouble reading other psychics ?
